Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier

My coach tires are real close to needing to be replaced and at the time of replacement i want to get set up with a spare tire and a carrier of some sort as i have no room for a spare mounted on a rim in the coach or my toad i have been looking at the Roadmaster carrier because of the ability to unpin and lay it down to enable opening the hood on my pusher i pull a Honda CRV as a toad and i am just curious as to the performance of this carrier in this type of situation thank you

    Just commenting to get notifications. I'm interested in hearing from anyone that owns one of these. I can see where it might get in the way if you have a toad, or need to check fluid levels. My 22.5" tire weighs in at 120 odd pounds and I'd like to know how easy it would be to horse around to get in the back of the RV and add oil or antifreeze to my diesel.

    Most of us have stopped carrying a spare tire and wheel as they take up so much room and weigh so much.

    Maybe a carrier underneath would work better, and the ERS could get it off and the bad tire back on easier then I could.

    Never used one but saw a display at Quartzite AZ RV show and it looked built really good, I say do it, its always better to have a backup spare tire while traveling than not have a backup.
